Martini

Probably the best known cocktail of all time, the Martini is an
evolution of the 1860s era Martinez. There are many opinions as to the
perfect ratio of gin to vermouth in a Martini, with some purists saying the
vermouth should be eliminated altogether (the same purists refuse to call
anything a Martini that doesn't contain gin). In the end, the amount of
vermouth in a Martini really comes down to personal taste. This recipe's 3:1
ratio is typical of the 1930s and 40s.
